For the record, the shared spacebar is something I definitely stole from This Little Piggy (Anna Anthropy made it). It’s used to different effect, of course, but I would not have thought of it without having played that game a bunch so long ago.

Just played 5 consecutive rounds with a friend, each tenser than the last. We would break out into laughter every time someone fired. Played it a little with a friend who doesn’t play many video games–he picked up on it within seconds and within a couple rounds he was on par with me. This is magic.
